Points of Order

Mark Pritchard Excerpts

Thursday 25th June 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

This is not good enough.

[Mark Pritchard (The Wrekin) (Con)]

rose—

[Mr Speaker]

I presume your point of order is the same, that you have heard the same message.

[Mark Pritchard]

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. It is a variant of it. I thank you for speaking up on behalf of all Members from across the House. At Deputy Prime Minister’s questions last week, I raised the point that an asylum centre had been put in my constituency with just hours’ notice, and yet Shropshire council, the unitary authority, had been given at least five days’ notice, or even weeks.

[Mr Speaker]

Well, at least you will not be asking a question in Business questions now you have asked that. I want to put it on the record that this situation is not acceptable. We need to ensure that MPs on all sides hear things first because I do not know whose constituencies will be affected. Do it correctly, learn, and speak to the Leader of the House—I am sure that he can make arrangements.
